It was never going to be smooth sailing for the TOWIE gang when they returned from their wild holiday in Marbella.
Things are getting increasingly frosty for Ferne McCann and pal Chloe Lewis and in last night’s episode we saw the two friends come to blows during a shopping trip.
Chatting to friend Kate Wright, Ferne spoke about her beef with Chloe claiming that they’re not friends but mere ‘acquaintances’.
She said: “People need to stop taking things so literally. All I can do I apologise. It’s just petty… we’re not that close, more like acquaintances. We’ve drifted apart…”
But shockingly Chloe was listening in just round the corner in the changing rooms.
She marched out to confront Ferne, telling her: “We’ve been friends for such a long time. To be honest, you’ve embarrassed yourself just now. You say you don’t fancy Jake, and you go behind my back telling him you can’t believe he’s had to put up with me for all these years. I don’t have friends that backstab me!”
Ferne then blasted Chloe for her and Jake’s ‘peculiar’ relationship.
“Your relationship is f**ked. Make your mind up. You're either single or you’re not.”
Chloe then fired back: “This is why you don’t have a boyfriend - because you’ve always got an opinion on everything. I don’t need advice off you!”
Ouch!
Filling in pals Jess Wright, Bobby Norris and Danielle Armstrong later that evening, Ferne broke down in tears proving that Chloe’s words had really cut deep.
